google books in difficulty before the French courts

A word to the sentence of regret that Google will scan and put online the contents of books without permission from copyright holders (intellectual property).

It is true that the right quote is apparently it's exclusive commercial purposes in France. Hence do not criticize the correctness of the decision but the law and the relevance of the lawsuit.

because Google offers a service called Google Book that can read excerpts from books, to buy the complete books, find them in libraries, to read freely from his PC works in the public domain, to find the authors quote, and others from the POV-pushing by finding in the ocean of literary production that will serve the turn to make believe his point of view.

But now done by Americans (linguistic imperialism), it's free (it hides something) is commercial (that bad).

Gallica, the French public service provides a service more nickel, but less maneuverable, heavier, less integrated (more clicks, less intuitive), less catchy. Also, why bother to pay taxes by a service that somebody wants to do for free? The commercial side

service google displeased. This is unfortunate because that is the commercial nature of Google which implies that the company must sell and find ways to sell books. In other words, if one seeks to increase the consumption of paper is better for business. They will find ways to get people to books, google books that is very successful in combining the Internet and books, raising the prospects of the book market. Who's complaining?


Google would reserve the right it seems to appeal. Stay tuned.
